SenTec recalls membrane changer sets with lots 180961, 181097, and 190053 due to a 5% chance of reduced electrolyte application during membrane changes. This may affect continuous monitoring of oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in patients.
There is an increased chance (approx. 5%) of no electrolyte or a reduced amount of electrolyte being applied to the sensor during the membrane change procedure.
SenTec is recalling membrane changer sets that could lead to reduced electrolyte application during use, potentially affecting oxygen and carbon dioxide monitoring. This risk is small but could impact patient monitoring accuracy.
The device may apply less electrolyte than intended during membrane changes, which could lead to inaccurate oxygen and carbon dioxide readings. This risk is small (about 5%) but might cause monitoring errors in critical patient care.
Patients using the SenTec Membrane Changer Set for continuous monitoring of oxygen and carbon dioxide levels, especially in neonatal care. Adults and pediatric patients are most at risk if the device is used incorrectly.
